HT1583 music skips after 100 slides

Question

While creating iDVDs, the music skils (for about one second) at each 100 slide increment.  Any idea how to fix (other than keeping the slide shows under 100)?

Answer 1

The video DVD standards allows for 99 chapters in a slideshow and each photo is considered a chapter.  To get around that limitiation iDVD renames photo #100 back to #1 and that lets us add more than 99 photos to a slideshow.  The downside to that is what you're experiencing, a pause at slide #99, 199, etc.
Some DVD players are more affected by that transition than others.  My low end Sony DVD/VHS player is less affected than my high end Sony DVD only  player.  Go figure.
I've been able to  lessen the effect by burning at as slow a speed as possible, 1X -2X, and using top grade disks. I also follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
However, there's no way to eliminate the pause entirely.
